In a unique step for an industrial robot manufacturer, robotics giant KUKA has released a mobile platform (!) with open interfaces (!) including several open source (!) software modules for education and research (!).
The video shows a prototype. The final version will feature magnesium casings for the arm to make it even lighter, re-designed covers for the body that allow for easier battery access and - obviously - omniwheels in KUKA-orange.
Specs and all the rest here: http://www.kuka-youbot.com
